Question

How does the length of a neuron affect the speed with which the nerve impulse Travels along it?

Answer 1

• A nerve impulse is an electrical signal that travels along an axon.
  
• The triggers a wave of electrical activity that passes from the cell body along the length of the axon to the synapse.
• A nerve impulse is a wave of electrical activity that passes from one end of a neuron to the other.
  
• The length of a neuron has very little to do with the velocity of a traveling action potential.
